Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0836157A2] An information processing apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes: a main body input and output section, provided to a main body cabinet section, for displaying a plan view of an object; and a lid body input and output section, provided to a lid body, for displaying a front view of the object. The main body cabinet section and the lid body are connected to each other by hinges so as to be opened and closed. The information processing apparatus further includes a main control section for changing a display state of the object on either the main body input and output section or the lid body input and output section in a predetermined manner, in response to a change in the display state of the object on the other input and output section. Therefore, the information processing apparatus can display the object in a three-dimensional manner in the plan and front views by referring to the display sections of the input and output sections, allowing the user to visually recognize the object with natural appearance in a three-dimensional manner. <IMAGE>
